Love Junkie: A Short Narrative


Once, an angel looked down on an innocent young babe, smiling, whispering to the girl how sorry she was to have left so suddenly, quietly in the night.

Promises of a new beginning, a new love, a new caring came and went over and over. The young girl aspired to feel and know feeling, but endured many disappointments. Still not wavering, she was determined to ascertain affection and love, moving blindly and reckless as she went.

He came into her life, her first love. He was fun and loving and devoted, everything she longed for. He took the girl for a ride in the country where he professed his love for another girl. She was heart broken and drained.

Time after time the girl was ignorant and naive and fell short in her endeavors. New hopes, new yearnings, new loves came upon her without warning. She perpetually accepted them without concern, hoping and having faith that things would be different each time.

He came into her life, a friend, although shy he offered her kindness. He brought comfort and family, something she didn't know. He eventually took her love for granted and became selfish and unloving. She never knew affection from him. Love was lost once more for the girl.

He came into her life really fast, no hesitations, taking her breath. He gave promise to a new excitement and sensuality. She was headed for heart break once again, realizing she had lost her way and let intentions grow to deep.

She is out of breath, running low on hope and energy, feeling so alone and helpless. She realizes how easy it is to be liked and how hard it is to be loved. The girl knows she is a hopeless love junkie.
